Ken Sully posted on motorcycle forums as FastLaneKen. He had just bought a brand new red Ducati 1198, which I think is about a $20K bike.

He was just talking about his new Ducati, and was selling his Busa for $9K here: http://www.ducatispot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12705

Here is an account of the fatal accident by the friend who was riding with him at the time: http://www.ducati1098.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13110
He concludes: “Ken leaves behind a beautiful wife of many, many years, and a young daughter of only 17. He was 58 years old.”

It’s especially sad that Ken left such a legacy of ill feelings behind him, at least among his former franchisees.

In commenting, please be respectful of his family.

If anyone buys into this franchise, they are idiots.

Take a look at the feedback numbers and sales figures for the one and only Canadian ISOLDIT, located in Kelowna
http://myworld.ebay.com/isoldit.cbc001

basically, if the company takes 33% of the sales, they would have trouble paying a single employee, let alone rent and other bills

it looks like the Kelowna location has sold under 100 items in three months. This is in a thriving, booming, growing, economic town of 100,000 people.

You do the math, the only profit in this company comes from the fools buying the franchise licenses.

They are definitely pursuing franchises in Canada. I too have been in detailed email correspondence with Mark Clifton and also have had phone conversations with him. My conversations started in mid March of 2007 and the last correspondence I had with him was in late April. He and his business partners are apparently opening their own store in Kelowna, BC. So there have been no suspensions of franchise sales. They are actively and aggressively promoting them in Canada. I was sent a franchise package and he answered questions on advertising and royalties as they applied to Canadian franchisees. I was working on a cash flow to see how the numbers were adding up when I found this site and backed off this “opportunity”.

So if they are not selling in the US, they are trying to sell to other countries.
